Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0881572A2] Described is a system (10) with a plurality of subsystems (20A, 20B, 20C), wherein at least one (20A) of the plurality of subsystems (20A, 20B, 20C) comprises one or more monitoring points (A1, A2) relevant and representative for certain parameters of the respective subsystem (20A), each one of the one or more monitoring points (A1, A2, C1) is connected with a respective diagnosis module (25A1, 25A2, 25C1) for substantially permanently monitoring the respective monitoring point (A1, A2, C1), and an evaluation unit (40) is connected with each respective diagnosis module (25A1, 25A2, 25C1) for receiving information therefrom about each respective monitoring point (A1, A2, C1), and for evaluating the received information in order to draw conclusions about parameters and properties within the system (10). The system is preferably used in an automated test equipment system. <IMAGE>
